Brendan O'Neill

--:--
The guest this week is Spiked Online editor Brendan O'Neill. Brendan explains his roots as a Marxist and motivates his belief that Marx and Engels were in fact devoted to freedom and against the State. Jonathan proposes the idea that both the left and right can't help but become elitist when in power and Roman attacks the concept of white privilege which leads to a fascinating insight into class dynamics. Brendan expounds on his views of why Brexit is the best thing to happen in Western politics in 25 years, how Trump is in no way comparable to Hitler, and what environmentalism is doing to prevent the progress of humanity.
